It's not the funniest to me. I just happen to really like it. I think it's quite an important idea behind it.

It reminds me of the villainization (that's probably not a word, but it is now!) of predators in nature. I don't think people understand that every meal for a predator can mean the difference between life and death, and any injury beyond the superficial can doom them. I recall that video of the water buffallo calf being attacked by a cheetah (and an alligator), and then the water buffalo fight back and save the calf. All the while the people are rooting for the "victim," but in reality they pretty much fucked the cheetah over.

The thing about PBF comics is that for a few short panels there's a suspension of real-world beliefs. You fully accept whatever situation the creator throws at you, and you're sort of transported to his little world, fully accepting whatever scenario he's come up with.

In the final setup, the truth is revealed; Sgt. Grumbles failed to support his comrades because he's a god damn bear, and was doing stereotypical bear things.

PBF pull this kind of thing on a regular basis, and we fall for it every time. Fantastical fantasy settings are shattered to the ground by real world implications, and this is where 90% of his jokes deride off of.

That's why I love it so much. From a young age I've loved those jokes. The first joke I remember laughing histerically at was in the Emperor's New Groove when, even though the antagonists fell off a cliff, they still manage to get to the capital first. Krunk responds to this with "yeah, well, if you look at it...no, it doesn't make any sense"

Watch Planet Earth NOW.

It really makes you feel for both sides, especially the segments in the North and South Pole...

In the North Pole, the polar bears are having increasing problems hunting seals due to global warming, and in desperation, one tries to attack the film crew's home, and one tries to take down a walrus while starving and gets shanked to death.

Also a very touching sequence of a super-rare Snow Leopard in the Afghan/ Pakistan mountains hunting for her cub.

I found that stork one funny without the vulture. it's a nice touch though, if only because you can miss it.

How is it funny without the vulture?

as people have said, the surrealistic nature of the comics are in and of themselves often enough to make one laugh. I was laughing at the idea of the whole stork baby delivery thing being real, but also being so real as to have to deal with complaining customers who claim they didn't get their shipment. making the ridiculous or mythological as mundane as working at UPS is quite funny to me.

This is like the only comic on his site I've never gotten, I just don't get it for some reason.

It's saying that a lot of our assumptions, especially in movies, about how ancient cultures and civilizations worked are likely out of whack, putting technological advancements centuries out of place at times, by projecting what some future culture thinks of our own time from a millenia away.

He's saying the future may not care enough about history to get the details right, and after a certain point, reality and fiction are going to start getting muddled.

Like the Past-O-Rama exhibit in Futurama.

I had assumed it was more a mockery of our current prediliction to glorify ancient cultures in ways all out of proportion with established fact. See 300, Gladiator, Spartacus etc... He's just extrapolating that out to the future where the wars that are fresh in our cultural mind would have risen to epic proportions as those notable battles of the past have to us.
